Amazing Facts on Ancient Egypt:

10) Cleopatra may not have been beautiful
Cleopatra VII, last queen of ancient Egypt, won the hearts of Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, two of Rome’s most important men. Surely, then, she must have been an outstanding beauty?

Her coins suggest that this was probably not the case. All show her in profile with a prominent nose, pronounced chin and deep-set eyes. Of course, Cleopatra’s coins reflect the skills of their makers, and it is entirely possible that the queen did not want to appear too feminine on the tokens that represented her sovereignty within and outside Egypt.

Unfortunately we have no eyewitness description of the queen. However the classical historian Plutarch – who never actually met Cleopatra – tells us that her charm lay in her demeanour, and in her beautiful voice.

Woops old boy, you seem thoroughly educated on Cleopatra so my next question should be an easy one for you.
I noticed she is always depicted with a snake or two around her ......... was that because she had an itchy beaver?

Actually, it represents a fully trained trouser snake (from the Latin word: trouserous snakeus), once the property of Nefertiti and her husband Arthur <ok>
